Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 191 Gold for Coal
coal!The key item of cast iron technology, nowadays, no one except Qin Mu knows about coal.

Even Wei Yu, the Shaofu who is in charge of Shanchi Haize, is unheard of.

Only Zu Long vaguely guessed that the key to this coal lies in the land of Daijun that Qin Mu asked for.

Even, it was within the food town of the two thousand households he asked for.

However, he didn't intend to really do anything, to prevent Qin Mu from obtaining this benefit or to make Qin Mu work for Da Qin for nothing.

Not to mention that Qin Mu might be his son who was abandoned by him for six years, but from the perspective of the emperor's mind, Qin Mu's value far exceeds the things he asked for.

What's more, Qin Mu's various discoveries have never been cherished by himself.The revenge he asked for was one thing, but the habit of not hiding anything made Zulong very relieved.

In other words, as long as Qin Mu is not exhausted, Da Qin will continue to benefit from Qin Mu, and the benefits he gets are far greater than what he gave.

Wei Yu cast his expectant eyes on Qin Mu.

Qin Mu looked at Zulong.

Zu Long was a little helpless: "Stinky boy, what do you think I am doing! I have won all the food you want for you, aren't you satisfied?"

Qin Mu laughed: "Father, that's definitely not the case! I'm not the kind of greedy person!"

He smiled and said, "Father, I just want to ask, what do you want this coal for? If it's for your own use... then it's free... But if it's for other purposes..."

Qin Mu is not stupid. The reason why he looked at Zulong was because he knew that Wei Yu must be under his father's command.

He wants coal, isn't it just that Dad wants coal?

After thinking about it, Zu Long decided to tell the truth.

When Qin Mu said this, he was actually asking for money.For some reason, Qin Mu's attitude towards Da Qin is unpredictable.

You can say that he doesn't love Daqin, but every time he has any novel technology or idea, he will contribute it.Even the idea of ​​imperial examinations, which can be established forever, has been contributed.

But if it is said that he loves Daqin, but he seems to be very against Daqin.When others have good ideas and good things, they wish they could bring eight large sedan chairs to pay tribute.But Qin Mu has always insisted on the exchange of equal value.

Regardless of whether what he wants to return can match his contribution, at least, he has persisted in this form.

"This coal is really magical. Naturally, I will not hide this kind of fetish..."

Zu Long glanced at Wei Yu: "Old Wei is the person in charge of the Royal Workshop. I brought him here today just to see the magic of this coal. If you have any needs, you might as well tell Old Wei directly."

Zu Long's words are half true and half false.

Wei Yu is indeed in charge of the Royal Workshop, but he is not just a person in charge!
It's the Shaofu, one of the Nine Ministers!
However, Qin Mu didn't doubt him either.After all, from the first look, this old Wei is obviously the kind of honest craftsman, without the nobleness of a high-ranking official and the coldness of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

"It turned out to be a big man, so I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Old Wei, you are the first person with status my father brought here!"

Wei Yu was stunned. Hearing this, His Majesty brought other people here?
However, could it be an ordinary person who could meet an expert before himself?It must be hiding his identity!

Wei Yu nodded with a strange expression: "Young Master Qin, don't gossip, how much coal do you have?"

Qin Mu made a gesture of heartache: "The output of this coal is not high! I am a bit reluctant to use it for myself! But, you are the Royal Workshop, and I should give you some according to the situation and reason. How about it, How about I give you two hundred tons per month?"

The ton on both sides is about 40 catties. Of course, this figure is not small, but it is definitely not enough for the terrifying consumption of the Royal Workshop.

The reason why Qin Mu said this was because he was sure that two hundred tons would definitely not be enough!

So I exaggerate its scarcity now, so that I can raise the price conveniently.

However, he forgot that the one facing him was a very upright craftsman.

When he said that, Wei Yu immediately believed it.This coal is so miraculous, Wei Yu felt that it is normal for the output to be low!

If the output of this thing is large, how could it not appear until now?

"The output is so scarce, I am afraid it will be difficult to apply it on a large scale..."

Wei Yu stroked his beard: "If only one or two blast furnaces can produce this kind of steel, I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense."

Qin Mu was dumbfounded.

No, is it really that straightforward?Did you really believe me when I said the output was low?

Would you believe me if I said the coal was made of gold?
Qin Mu looked at Zulong for help, but Zulong wanted to see him suffer for a long time, so he just pretended he didn't know what to do, and even sat leisurely on the recliner and started watching the show.

Qin Mu coughed lightly: "Well... Actually, there is still some room for improvement in this output..."

"Room for improvement?"

Wei Yu's eyes lit up: "How much can the maximum output be?"

Qin Mu thought for a while, then tilted his head: "It should be no problem to supply the Royal Workshop..."

"..."

Wei Yu was speechless for a while, this expert is good at everything, why does he like to talk nonsense?
How much charcoal does the Royal Workshop consume in a day?
Let alone hundreds of thousands of catties!Even if coal burns better than charcoal, 10,000+ catties is still necessary!
In other words, if all the royal workshops were replaced with coal as fuel, it would consume two hundred tons a day!

Wei Yu thought for a while, and then put it in a more euphemistic way: "My lord, the stable and continuous burning that the Royal Workshop wants... this coal..."

Qin Mu sighed: "Don't worry, I know! I can supply it!"

"really?"

Wei Yu jumped up happily: "If all the yellow workshops are coal-fired, how much will the efficiency be improved by then?"

Qin Mu's head suddenly became black.

This Wei Yu is just like an old child, he has no mind and doesn't know how to cover up.

"Don't be so happy, I'm not giving it to you for free!"

Wei Yu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the Royal Workshop has a lot of fuel, but there is really no shortage of money!"

Qin Mu's eyes lit up: "Really? How about this, let's exchange a tael of coal for a tael of gold!"

Wei Yu spat out a mouthful of old tea.

One tael of gold for one tael of coal?

Are you crazy?

He restrained his expression: "Young master, you... let alone my small workshop, even the national treasury, it doesn't have so much money!"

Qin Mu was a little disappointed.

"Forget it, forget it, forget it for a ton of five taels of gold. I'm not going to earn more money from you!"

Wei Yu thought about it and agreed decisively.

These golds seem to be a lot, but they are useless in the hands.

It's better to be cruel and change to coal!
